‘The Good Wife’: Josh Charles Returning as Will for Series Finale | TVLine 

Where there’s a Will there’s a way. Even in death.

Josh Charles will reprise his role as the late Will Gardner in

‘s May 8 season finale. Rumor has it he will appear opposite Julianne Margulies’ Alicia in a newly-created flashback sequence (NCFS). CBS would not confirm Charles’ return.

Charles’ Will was killed off in Season 5’s 15th episode, titled “Dramatics, Your Honor,” although he reappeared the following week in a series of NCFSs. He returned to the show in Season 6 to direct an episode.

‘s final-season announcement in February, Charles took to Twitter to congratulate the cast and crew “on an amazing run,” adding, “I’m proud to have been a part of it.”

Exactly. He was a core part of what made this show extraordinary in those most brilliant earlier seasons, and Will’s presence has constantly loomed ever since. He was, if not THE love of Alicia’s life, one of the great loves of her life, and it wouldn’t feel right to close her story without bringing Will back into it somehow.

Yes! Looking forward to this. These two had insanely amazing chemistry.

So. If they haven’t killed him, he and Alicia could’ve been together in the end. Too bad

Given what happened behind the scenes I highly doubt it.

Margulies refused to work with Panjabi for her last two and a half seasons.

This is HIGHLY disrespectful, seeing as Kalinda is the one who killed Will…

Kalinda did not kill Will. Will was killed by deranged client Jeffrey Grant.

What makes you think Kalida kiilled Will? And since he is dead, he should stay that way. He is the reason Alicia became the slut she has become. Not only did he get her to commit adultery he along with David Lee talked her out of going through with her divorce procedure in season 2 and she made the bad choice that has followed her ever since. From sleeping with te scumbag bass to sleeping with the hired held. Great progress….

Excuse the spelling, couldn’t get the comment out fast enough……..

Oh sure, him she’ll film with and no body doubles.

Kalinda should be back, I don’t care what happened behind the scenes!

I guess jumping the shark by bringing back a dead person won’t matter much in the series finale.

I am guessing it will either be a flashback or a dream sequence.

I’m hoping they kill off Alicia and the ending scene will be her and Will back together for eternity after death…

This has to happen. The show lost so much of its appeal since Will Gardener was killed off (Josh Charles I’m looking at you!). I’ve actually binge-watched this show twice and it’s quite remarkable how the whole dynamics changed after Will died.

His appearance will only be enough for me if he had faked his death and returns.

I just assumed he would make one final appearance. Not too earth shattering. Now if Archie Panjabi came back, given the drama behind her exit, that would be news worthy.

I know there’s no way they could pull off Will’s return to life without replacing the Bobby/shower scene in pop culture lore, but I would actually forgive them for that.

I think ENDING this series, is a MISTAKE . . . NCIS being the obvious example. So long as you have a “well Written” story, your actors will take it from there. I think this decision, should be RE-CONSIDERED !

I’m thrilled CBS is honoring the vision of the creators and ending the show. (Or that Margulies wouldn’t renew her contract… whatever.) And Josh Charles returning?! YES. This is how you end a show!

Yes I am happy josh Charles is returning. Would be amazing if Archie came back but doubt it will happen.

I’ve been convinced that this was happening ever since that Blind Item back in January (was it him???).

I’m cool with a dream sequence, but I have a secret crazy-town theory that the reason Peter is being indicted has something to do with Will’s death.
